Summary: Kagome, in the fleeting moment before she shares her first kiss with Inuyasha, muses on him and gently falls into despair. Inuyasha fic! Don't own Inuyasha or the second movie. Oneshot.

Hello all! This is my first Inuyasha fic, and I've recently became addicted to the anime.

Cat: (cries)

Disclaimer: I do not own Inuyasha or the sky.

A Single Moment:

I have never seen your face so contorted with demonic possession, or how your eyes lost all specks of kindness. Your fangs lengthened in the dim glow of the room, a blizzard of white bangs swirling deliriously around your face. You flung Miroku aside as if he was an unwanted fly. A terrible ripping motion takes place in my chest as I watch you transform. For the first time in my life, I am fearing you, Inuyasha. Not even a spark of humility seems to sparkle within, just an endless pit of darkness, a thoughtless monster that kills without will.

Or so I think.

Not even Miroku's, Sango's or Shippo's words seem to penetrate that barrier between us and you, your human side now imprisoned in a glass case, as it seems to watch you, expressionless and emotionless.

I feel my feet move as I slowly walk towards you, an odd expression on my face. I am terrified...lying would be useless. There must still be a part of you that feels compassion, I tell myself harshly, as if saying it enough would make it come true. There must be.

Throwing myself forward, I bury my face in your red cloak, feeling the gentle skin of the fire rat between my fingers, breathing in its musky scent. Please! I beg silently: Don't transform!

My presence has no avail, as you just screech more, your claws sharpening. Taking a deep breath, I close my eyes, a memory lingering in my mind:

"I don't know Inuyasha...I mean, I like you as a half demon..."

"Inuyasha...?" I whisper uncertainly. Can I still call you that name, or are you too far gone?

"I like you as a half demon...you don't have to change! We like you the way you are!"

You growled as I blinked in amazement. It was if you had recoiled slightly, but a cruel voice shrieked behind: "Give me that girls body!"

Torn, you roared with frustration as in fury you gripped me by my arms, your vicious claws ripping into my flesh, tearing my uniform. I flinched in pain, before staring up at those eyes, red and blood thirsty, soon to be indulging in blood...my blood.

Never in my life Inuyasha, had I seen such a face...you were gone. Gone from me, Miroku, Sango, all the others...my grief was unimaginable. Would I never see you smile again?Or would you kill me before that?

I want a memory, Inuyasha. A single memory with you, before I die, before you take my life. I want to be with you forever...

I love you.

Tears prick my eyes as I lean towards you, my lips hovering over yours. Now I know how Kikyo felt as Naraku betrayed you both, before she sadly passed into the next world. Never again she would see you smile...

Before I know, my lips touch yours, tears flowing down my cheeks, as everyone holds their breath in silent shock. I won't let go, or pull away. I want to preserve for the rest of my days this moment as I cling tighter, as I whisper silently in my mind, words that I have only ever dreamed about:

"Inuyasha...we will always be together, won't we?"

The end

BB3: I suck at romance. Oh, and Inuyasha does change back, I was going to add that in but I got a bit lazy and it sounds better this way...oh well!

Reviews are loved!

Cat: Yugioh...Beyblade...Inuyasha...(screams)
